Summary

Drury High is a grades 7–12 school serving 438 students in North Adams, Massachusetts, a small city in the northern Berkshires, and it ranked 297th of 353 Massachusetts schools in 2025–2026 — the 16th percentile, with 1 star. Its district, North Adams, ranks 335th of 351 statewide (5th percentile), so the school places somewhat higher than its own district. Drury has sat in the bottom fifth of the state since 2015–2016, with percentile ranks between 11 and 18 and no sustained upward trend.

Academically, the middle grades are Drury's sharpest weakness: 8th-grade proficiency was 1.56% in ELA, 4.69% in math, 6.25% in science, and 3.28% in civics, while nearby Hoosac Valley High School reached 28.95% in 8th-grade ELA. At 10th grade, ELA (32.61%) is comparatively stronger — above Charles McCann Vocational Technical and Taconic High and nearly even with Pittsfield High — but math (16.28%) is second lowest in the comparison group and science (10.00%) is the lowest of all. State 10th-grade averages are 45.48% ELA, 43.73% math, and 40.50% science. Mt Greylock Regional High and Wahconah Regional High post much higher results, and Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School and Mohawk Trail Regional School also outperform Drury.

Drury's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 84.9% with an 8.1% dropout rate — a strong rebound from 69.9% and 21.7% the year before, though the trend is volatile. That trails Charles McCann Vocational Technical (97.7% and 1.5%), Mt Greylock Regional High, and Wahconah Regional High, while exceeding Pittsfield High and Taconic High. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven and generally low: low-income students rank in the 23rd percentile statewide, up from the 9th the prior year. Drury spent $19,339 per student in 2020–2021 and had a 9.8 student-teacher ratio, both mid-range among nearby schools — so funding and class size alone do not explain the outcome gaps.
